E-mail VP announcement still on for Barack Obama
The timing remains unclear. But David Plouffe, the day-to-day honcho of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, confirmed today that the long-awaited announcement of a running mate will come in an unorthodox manner (as was promised over the weekend).
In an e-mail to Obama backers, Plouffe wrote:
People keep asking me if we’re really going to announce Barack’s VP directly to our supporters.
The answer is yes.
Let me be very clear. You are the ones who built this campaign, and Barack wants you to be the first to know who will join him in leading our movement for change.
So, if you haven’t signed up to receive an email or a text message, sign up now. Or you can text VP to 62262 from your mobile phone.
Make sure to forward this message to your friends and let them know about this special opportunity.
Chances are a lot of ringers are going to show up on that message list. Still, as that last suggestion illustrates, it's not a bad way to expand the universe of potential donors.

Folks this going to be fun. Can the "Reporters" and all their "SPIES" find out who it will be before Obama e-mail blasts it to the "World". This will be a real test can "Team Obama" keep it 'TOP SECRET". Yes every reporter, blogger, any the National Inquire will be looking to break the story first.
So any bets???
